Sleep deprivation can lead to increased errors, accidents, delays in performance, and doubts about missions and hormonal dysfunction. In some jobs, there are forced sleep deprivation. For example, militaries are deprived of sleep at various times. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of two hours sleep deprivation at night on physical performance, blood levels of melatonin, cortisol, and testosterone in the military.

40 military personnel were randomly divided into 4 groups (Group 1: Deprivation of sleep from 12am to 2am; Group 2: Deprivation from 2am to 4am, Group 3: Deprivation from 4am to 6am and Group 4: control group). The protocol consisted of two parts: baseline measurement (before sleep deprivation) which was a pre-test, and post-sleep deprivation measurement. The first part of the study was recorded a week ago of sleep deprivation.

There were significant differences in pre and post-test sleep deprivation 4am to 6am, upper body and lower body strength, explosive power, plasma levels of melatonin, cortisol, testosterone and testosterone to cortisol ratio. Also in sleep deprivation 2am to 4am; significantly changed minimum power, cortisol, testosterone and testosterone to cortisol ratio (p≤0.05).

Maximum physical and hormonal dysfunctions were observed in sleep deprivation 2am to 4am and 4am to 6am.  And doing sensitive work for people and military that have been deprived of sleep during these period times it would not be appropriate.

Musculoskeletal position, damaging risk factors and Functional Movement Screening of the human body are the main indicators for identifying the level of health of the individual and society. Musculoskeletal disorders and work-related motor dysfunction are considered to be the main cause of disability worldwide. Musculoskeletal injuries in military personnel have a direct effect on the readiness of the National Defense Force.

The statistical population of this study included all Ajay staff. From this population, 55 people were randomly selected as a statistical sample. FMS functional motion screening test was used. Also for damaging risk factors of YBT-LQ, YBT-UQ, SLVJ, DF, the 6-m timed jump was used. The Kolmogorov–Smirnov test was used for data normality and descriptive statistics and correlation coefficient. The regression was used to evaluate the variables using SPSS software version 22 at the significant level of 0.05.

The FMS test results showed that AJA staff had scores below 58.18%. The highest frequency in the scores is 12, 13 and 14. The relationship between variables of FMS test with Each of the damaging factor risk variables in individuals with 14 and less scores shows that there were a significant relationship between deep squat variable with YBT-LQ and YBT-UQ, single SLVJ, triple cross hop and 6 m hop time (P = 0.001). Significant correlation between hurdle step variables with DF (P = 0.005), YBT-LQ, YBT-UQ, hop there was a triple crossover (P = 0.001). There was a significant relationship between the variables of Lunch with DF (P = 0.001) and YBT-LQ (P = 0.04). There was a significant relationship between active straight leg raise of DF (P = 0.03). There was a significant relationship between rotational stability and YBT-UQ (P = 0.03). There was a significant relationship between total scores of functional screening with DF, YBT-UQ (P = 0.001), YBT-LQ (P = 0.004), triple cross hop 6 m and hop time (P = 0.04).

This study shows that overall score, FMS is a predictor of injury in AJA staff, and people with scores of 14 and below are at high risk of injury. FMS scores, coaches, commanders, and AJA staff should focus on screening and identifying people with musculoskeletal disorders, motor screening scores, and risk factors, identifying and assessing at-risk people, and providing strategies and practices.

In recent years, many efforts have been made to develop public sports in Iran. The purpose of this study was to identifying and prioritizing the sports fields selection criteria with public sports development approach in Islamic republic of Iran army.

All experts of the physical education department of Army in Tehran, Iran were a sample of qualitative stage, 12 of whom were interviewed in a purposeful and accessible method and completed the interviews with theoretical saturation.

Sleep deprivation is more common in military personnel due to missions and military operations, and they are scheduled to be deprived of sleep at special times at night posts, respectively. However, sleep deprivation has effects negative and irreversible. Therefore, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the functional response, immune system and hormonal levels of the military to short-term sleep deprivation at different times of the night.

The present study began with the purposeful and voluntary selection of 40 healthy military personnel, they were randomly divided into 4 groups (Group 1: Deprivation from 12am to 2am; Group 2: Deprivation from 2am to 4am, Group 3: Deprivation from 4am to 6am and Group 4: control group). Each group was evaluated in two stages before and after sleep deprivation.

There was a significant difference in pre and post-test sleep deprivation hours 12am to 2am static and dynamic balance, auditory and visual reaction time. Also, in deprivation hours 2am to 4am significantly changed the auditory and visual reaction time and cortisol. In addition, were increased cortisol and melatonin at time 4am to 6am (p<0.05).

The negative effects of sleep deprivation appear to occur at different dimensions and with different times, but only 12 to 2 deprivation have a deleterious effect on balance and reaction time and 2 to 4 deprivation on reaction time and cortisol.

In recent years, the use of herbal medicines to improve health and physical ability has been the focus of researchers. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of peppermint essential oil consumption during recovery after exhaustive physical activity on physical and functional indices of the military.

Thirty students (age: 20 to 25 year) of officer university with no regular training participated as subject in this study and were randomly divided into drug or placebo groups. At first the subjects' physical and functional indices were evaluated and then they performed the exhaustion protocol. Then, subjects consume the drug and placebo and all tests were repeated.

The results showed that the strength, speed, agility and shooting performance of the two groups did not change significantly after the exhaustion exercise and there was no significant difference between the two groups. Also, the results showed that there was a significant difference between endurance and time of exhaustion between groups after exhaustion exercise (p<0.05).

According to the results of this study, consumption of peppermint essential oil in recovery period after an exhaustive exercise can improve endurance and reduce the decline in other fitness factors.
